1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Castan		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Castan 4/1, On a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and over C&D in recent weeks, both under Paul Mulrennan. A further 6 lb rise demands more but still much respected in his current mood. Two from two since wearing cheekpieces; recorded the latest win over C&D; respected.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 -29%) Maharajas Express		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(8) Maharajas Express 9/2, Arrives on the back of a pair of 5f wins at Wolverhampton this month. Came with another strong run to lead in the dying strides there on Monday and a 5 lb penalty may not prevent him going in again. Incurs 5lb penalty for narrow win on Monday but has to be feared in current form.
3	9 3rd (9) (50/1 -150%) Golden Rainbow		50 50/1(-150%)																															(9) Golden Rainbow 50/1, Six wins from 20 runs last year, the latest over C&D in September. 25/1, 8 lengths ninth of 10 to Castan on C&D reappearance 13 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. All C&D wins in Class 6; down the field in this grade two weeks ago.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +0%) Match Play		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Match Play 14/1, Fifth of 8 in C&D handicap on reappearance 23 days ago, shaping as if he'd be better for the run. Merits consideration. Still seeking first AW win but ran respectably over C&D on reappearance.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +53%) Dark Kestrel		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(1) Dark Kestrel 7/2, C&D winner. 11/2, bit below form when fourth of 10 over C&D 7 days ago. Can start slowly. Scored over C&D in October on most recent Class 5 attempt; consistent since.
6th	4 6th (4) (17/2 -31%) Above		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(4) Above 17/2, C&D winner in January and also second here next time. Bit below form when third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 14 days ago but may do better back at Newcastle. Consistent this winter but some of these rivals have better recent strike-rates.
7th	2 7th (2) (8/1 -14%) Our Absent Friends		8 8/1(-14%)																															(2) Our Absent Friends 8/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 9 over C&D 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Back on a winning mark. Largely consistent at this track since returned to AW; frame possibilities.
8th	10 8th (10) (6/1 -9%) Oriental Prince		6 6/1(-9%)																															(10) Oriental Prince 6/1, Third C&D win of the winter when seeing off 7 rivals last month. Merely pushed out on that occasion so a further 4lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent another prominent showing. Has done very well at Newcastle since wearing a hood; could improve further.
9th	6 9th (6) (18/1 +10%) General Assembly		18 18/1(+10%)																															(6) General Assembly 18/1, Visored first time, first run since leaving Harry Eustace when eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort after racing too freely. Sole attempt over 5f resulted in his only win; interesting back at this trip.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 -60%) Leodis Dream		16 16/1(-60%)																															(5) Leodis Dream 16/1, C&D winner in October. 8/1, creditable third of 8 on C&D reappearance. Entitled to come on for the run. C&D success in October; solid third here this month on reappearance.

15:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This is open and only a tentative vote can go to ORIENTAL PRINCE. Jim Goldie's charge has found considerable improvement since having a hood applied in December, winning three of his four starts since, and a further 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the progressive four-year-old. Maharajas Express left it late to get up at Wolverhampton on Monday. The gelding must shoulder a 5lb penalty today but merits respect in search of the three-timer, while fellow hat-trick seeker Castan and Leodis Dream are just two more to consider.

A competitive sprint featuring a few thriving sorts. MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can strike while the iron is hot and complete a quick hat-trick but Oriental Prince and Castan also arrive in winning form and are likely to ensure the selection doesn't get things all his own way. Match Play should strip fitter for his reappearance and also merits respect.

This is quite a competitive affair but the strong temptation is to side with CASTAN, who is 2-2 since wearing cheekpieces.

Fourth of five over 1m here this month, improving on his bumper effort.

15:55 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Oberon Hill (fourth) and Woodrafff (fifth) met over the mile here recently and both would need to improve, especially having to concede weight to a pair of interesting debutants in REGALIAN and Go Out, of which the former is preferred. The son of Kingman is a half-brother to the useful Theory Of Tides, who won his first two racecourse appearances for the Gosdens last year, and, if possessing anywhere near that level of ability, he might prove too strong.

A likely match between the 2 well-bred newcomers, with Kingman colt REGALIAN preferred to Hello Youmzain gelding Go Out before market clues.

With the form standard modest, interesting newcomers REGALIAN and Go Out could well fight out this race.

7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 -127%) Stallone		25 25/1(-127%)																															(9) Stallone 25/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024.

16:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Blackcurrent struck the woodwork at handicap level last time out and his claims are as strong as any eased into a classified event, while similar comments apply to Arlington. Bryan Smart's charge didn't fire last time but is perhaps best judged on his previous course second, and a return to that level ought to see him go very close. That being said, a chance can be taken on ATHOLLBLAIR BOY. Recent form figures aren't reflective of how well the 12-year-old has performed and, dropping in class, he edges it.

Old-timer ATHOLLBLAIR BOY is holding his form pretty well this season and would be giving weight to all his rivals if this was a handicap. Blackcurrent only just failed in a similar event over C&D last time so rates the main threat, with Lezardrieux also worth a mention given his record here.

Being 2-3 over C&D, ARLINGTON may be the answer. Lezardrieux is second choice.

2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -10%) Laura's Breeze		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(4) Laura's Breeze 11/2, Modest mare. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Fifth of 8 in minor event (13/2) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Major player at the weights and returning to 6f looks a plus.
3	9 3rd (9) (3/1 +10%) Tommytwohoots		3 3/1(+10%)																															(9) Tommytwohoots 3/1, Modest gelding. Good in-frame efforts over this C&D before too keen at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Has good chance on form. Infrequent winner but looks a leading contender on these terms.

7th	5 7th (5) (8/1 +20%) Mews House		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Mews House 8/1, Modest gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 100/1, last of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good). Off 158 days. Re-joined yard after leaving Linda Perratt. Tongue strap back on. May stage a revival on first run since rejoining this stable.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 +67%) Safio's Princess		33 33/1(+67%)																															(8) Safio's Princess 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Has the worst chance on ratings; headgear fitted.

17:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Fast Flo was only held by half a length when runner-up at Southwell recently and the winner boosted that form by subsequently scoring in style, but Christine Dunnett's mare remains a maiden after 33 attempts and preference is for BERNIE THE BEAR. This C&D scorer usually goes well in this grade and the booking of 3lb claimer Harry Burns inspires further confidence. Fellow track-and-trip winner Raft Up warrants respect in a first-time hood.

TOMMYTWOHOOTS was too free at Wolverhampton last time but his previous in-frame efforts over this C&D puts him bang there on these terms. Fast Flo went close in a similar event at Southwell 2 weeks ago so is next best ahead of Raft Up, who wasn't seen to best effect last time.

The combination of a first-time hood and drop to this level earns RAFT UP the vote ahead of Tommytwohoots.

Latest win here in January. 9/4, not seen to best effect bidding for 4-timer when 3¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Barnaby in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Respected. Didn't have the race run to suit when only sixth behind Barnaby here recently.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 -64%) Barnaby		2.25 9/4(-64%)																															(1) Barnaby 9/4, 6-time C&D winner. Six wins from 17 Flat runs. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 13 days ago, well positioned. Expected to be bang there again. Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago.

More needed to complete hat-trick but may get an uncontested lead again. Dual 1m winner here and looks to have the gears for 7f; commands respect.

17:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

This looks like a good opportunity for BARNABY to complete a C&D hat-trick. Kevin Ryan's gelding accounted for three of these rivals when defying a 6lb rise to complete a double with plenty to spare 13 days ago, taking his track-and-trip strike-rate to 6-8 in the process, and a further 6lb hike doesn't look enough to halt him. The main threat appears to be Longhaired General, who also arrives on a course three-timer but his two wins came over 1m. William Dewhirst completes the shortlist.

BARNABY is thriving on racing and had a few of these behind when finding a bit more improvement to notch his sixth C&D success 2 weeks ago. He looks sure to make another bold bid and is preferred to hat-trick seeking Longhaired General, who may get an uncontested lead again.

Kevin Ryan's BARNABY (nap) can't get enough of this place and he's an uncomplicated gelding who is likely to take some stopping.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
